Hi guys,
funny new issue:
as soon as i updated my pages (several ones) to Joomla 3.2, my navigation on top of the page didn't work anymore. This issue is definitely based on a combination of Joomla 3.2, sh404sef 4.1.0.1559 and also 4.2.1.1586 , and Gantry 4.1.17 and also 4.1.19 - if i disable Gantry based templates and use Joomla core template Protostar, it works with sh404sef, but also when i use Gantry Templates and use Joomla Core SEF but disable sh404sef, it works either. Just the combination of all 3 causes the issue.
Issue:
Suddenly my navigation doesn't switch when i change the language. There is always stuccoed the default one for the default language. If i create a new menu-module placed in the sidebar - that one works fine.
So i hope that you maybe can get in contact with the sh404sef-team and find any solution. I can also provide you with user and password, if you want so. I will forward this text also to the sh404sef-team.
Kind regards,
Rafael

Hi Igor,
thank for your replay. Yes sir, i did set it up correctly. And as i wrote win the opener: everything was running perfectly until i updated to J3.2
When i now disable sh404sef (by the way: with that extension it is not able to activate the language plugins from Jommla), everything runs good. And also when i enable sh404sef and use a non gantry-based template - it's great. Just the three things together causes this issue…
Thanks man,

Still nothing from the Dev-Team… guys, this is not professional - i pay a lot of money for the developer club, and i wanted to know, that things like that are noticed by the team and that someone works on a solution.
I can say, that issue must be caused by gantry. When i use a new module instance of RokNavMenu on the same module-position instead of the built in menu-option in the templates backend, it works.
So can please someone of the team provide me with an update on that?

I found a way to partially workaround/fix it:
1. Disable Joomla's "System - Language Filter" Plugin.
2. Enable multilingual support in sh404sef configuration.
Btw. to be able to disable Joomlas "System - Language Filter" plugin, multilingual support in sh404sef must first be disabled, otherwise the language filter plugin is displayed as 'protected' and can't be changed.
Any other combination of the two settings cause the language switcher module to break on my Joomla 3.2.1 site.

Guys, this "workaround" are clearly explained on the official sh404sef documentation website

Hello Igor,
thanks for pointing this out! Awesome that there's a better support on a third party forum than on the official support forum.
The problem here is, as soon as you disable joomla language filter plugin, you can't setup any menu
associations any more. So you end up enabling joomla language filter plugin, setting up menu associations, disabling it to update/test your site.
I somehow can't imagine that that's the intended workflow, because it even causes an other problem where the menu item association leads to an other url (duplicate content) than the menu item of the second language.
